To clarify what I was aiming for with my mail: I'm not worried about
fbdev here, I'm just worried that this will come back, and we'll grow
select somewhere else until it's become a big & totally horrible mess.
I think a lot of the backlight selects have also grown because of
this, so this isn't just a one-off I think.

If Arnd is happy to play "Kconfig select" whack-a-mole ever once in a
while (and deal with the intermediate compile horrors while everyone
upgrades) I'm ok with this landing. Just not terribly happy if the
underlying issue isn't fixed.

And I'll keep ignoring the IS_REACHABLE() patches that make i915 build
with a config that should not exist. ;)

Jani.
